A Taste of MasterChef hits Squiz Labs
03 Sep
With a number of us being MasterChef fans, we had to try Adriano Zumbo’s V8 cake. For those of you who didn't follow this year's MasterChef Australia competition, the V8 cake is an 8 layer cake comprised of the following layers:
- Vanilla water gel
- Vanilla macaroon
- Toasted vanilla brulee
- Vanilla chiffone cake
- Vanilla ganache
- Brown sugar crumble
- Vanilla almond crunch
- Vanilla dacquoise
And all wrapped in a vanilla crème chantilly!
We looked at the recipe a number of times after ordering the cake 2 weeks ago, noting that it would include titanium dioxide (to give the outside of the cake that white colour) and at least 9 vanilla beans - yes 9!!
And the verdict? Fantastic! Well worth the money if you wanted that special cake for a special occasion. Our hats go off for those MasterChef contestants who made this cake in such a short time. It’s easier to eat this master creation than to make it.
